Full Report Text:
Late afternoon sighting of four objects over Seattle seen from Bainbridge. Pulled into my driveway and last of afternoon sun hit a plane flying up in sky - caught my eye. As I looked at plane I notice four round white objects way up in sky and wondered what they were.
They seemed to move into a formation of a Z and held their position. Then one white orb starts moving up and looks like it's going to hit one of the orbs and then moves and hovers over the top. Either a cloud passed by or they recessed into clouds then next thing there are three in a vertical row with one off to the left.
Shortly thereafter,again, a cloud either passes or they somehow recess and next there's only three and they haveformed an upside down V. I watched until they disapeared and did not come back. I was freaking out.

Triangle shape object with lights flew at very high speed across sky and stopped to descend A triangle shaped object flew at a high rate of speed thru the sky. No sound. It stopped abruptly and descended straight down until out of sight.
This took about 4 minutes.
Full Report Text:
Boxy cylinder/barrel shaped with flickering orange glow on one side moving slowly. Craft was moving slowing south to north directly overhead and either was lit by the setting sun or had fire onboard. The orange glow was all I saw at first (I thought it was Mars) and then seemed to pulse and flicker only illuminating one side and eventually went out completely leaving a barrel or boxy cylinder shape moving slowly away.
I was able to view the craft for approx. 1.5 minutes through binoculars until I lost it behind trees.
Perhaps a Chinese lantern?.
Full Report Text:
My friend and I were outside looking at the stars, when we saw this light moving across the sky. First we thought it was a satellite, but then it started to curve down fast and behind the trees. We ran over to were we could see it and when we saw it it wasn't moving.
After about 30 seconds it slowly started to move out of view so we ran back to were we we were at the start. It then reappeared on the left side of the trees and became at least 3 times the brightness and size of Jupiter on a really clear night then became the brightness of a satellite again. Then it continued behind us and disappeared.
